What We Respond To
From single large-loss events to full catastrophe deployments, our teams are equipped to document any disaster type with the speed and precision required for large commercial claims.
Hurricane & Tropical Storm Response
Immediate deployment following landfall events to document wind, rain, and surge damage across commercial, industrial, and municipal properties. Our teams mobilize pre-landfall when conditions allow, staging in adjacent safe zones for rapid post-storm entry.
- Wind-driven rain intrusion and envelope failure documentation
- Structural damage assessment and photo documentation
- Flood and storm surge moisture mapping
- Aerial drone surveys of rooftops and large campuses
- Multi-building portfolio triage and prioritization
Flood & Water Intrusion Events
Comprehensive moisture investigation and mapping for large-scale flooding events. We document the full extent of water intrusion to support accurate claim valuation and prevent secondary losses from undetected moisture.
- Full-building thermal imaging and moisture mapping
- Tramex DEC surface scanning for subsurface moisture
- Floor plan moisture diagrams for every affected level
- Mold risk assessment and remediation protocol development
- Post-drying clearance verification
Large-Scale Fire & Smoke Events
Rapid deployment for commercial structure fires, wildfire events, and industrial incidents. Our industrial hygiene team documents combustion by-products, smoke migration pathways, and contamination extent to support complete and accurate claims.
- Combustion by-product and soot sampling
- Smoke pathway investigation through HVAC and cavities
- Indoor air quality (IAQ) testing and reporting
- Science-based remediation protocols
- Post-remediation clearance testing
Catastrophic & CAT Event Response
When a single event produces hundreds of claims across a region, CDS deploys multi-team responses to manage volume without sacrificing documentation quality. We coordinate directly with adjusters and carriers to prioritize and triage the most complex losses.
- Multi-team surge capacity for high-volume CAT events
- Centralized project management and reporting
- Carrier and adjuster coordination protocols
- Standardized documentation packages for each loss
- Real-time status reporting for portfolio-level tracking

How We Mobilize
Initial Contact
Call our 24/7 emergency line. We gather key loss details — location, event type, property type, and scale — to begin resource planning immediately.
Team Assembly
We identify the right multi-discipline team for your event and begin logistics coordination. For known CAT events, we may already be pre-staged.
On-Site Deployment
Teams arrive and begin systematic documentation — visual inspection, moisture mapping, thermal imaging, aerial surveys, and sampling as applicable.
Report & Deliver
Comprehensive documentation packages are delivered to adjusters, carriers, and counsel in the format required to support your claim.
